Welcome to the Online Archive of the Old PublicEye.Org Website

Please remember that this is an archive of an older website for researchers, and it is not being updated. Therefore, much of the material here is not current.
Much like any library archive, it is "out-of-date." Brick and mortar libraries do not toss out older resource materials, they archive them. That is what we have done here.

Eyes Right

The Public Eye Magazine - Spring 2007

DID YOU SAY POSITIVE?

Wendy Wright, president of Concerned
Women for America, is thrilled with a new
Heritage Foundation study that suggests
why the abortion rate has declined, especially
among minors. The study, by University of
Alabama professor Michael New, places
responsibility on a stronger economy, sexual
activity starting at an older age, and - surprise - pro-life state-level laws that restrict
access to abortion services.

"Dr. New's research - based on fact -
helps to shatter the myths being put forward
by the abortion lobby and the media," she
told CitizenLink. "It verifies what common
sense would tell us - pro-life regulations have
a positive effect."

THE ERA'S UNDERMINING MOTHERHOOD – AGAIN

The Family Research Council's Tony
Perkins is tracking Arkansas state Rep. Lindsley Smith's (D) effort to revitalize the campaign for the Equal Rights Amendment.
"The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA),
until recently, was a largely irrelevant piece
of feminist propaganda dating back to the
early 1970s," said Perkins, dusting off a few
outdated opinions of his own. "The ERA
seeks not to end discrimination, injustice, or
chauvinism, but to undermine motherhood,
traditional sexuality, and innate gender differences."

HOMOSEXUALS AND THOSE ANNOYING ‘BREEDERS'

Peter LaBarbera the president of Americans
for Truth about Homosexuality, an anti-gay
organization, practiced his logic in a recent
email update.

"Nature discriminates against homosexuality. Same-sex arrangements can never be
‘equal' to the God-ordained institutions of
marriage and family. They cannot produce
children by themselves. Homosexual partners
cannot acquire a child without involving heterosexual procreation in some way. Yep,
those irritating ‘breeders' come in handy
once in a while. Heterosexual couples and
larger society, on the other hand, do not need
homosexuality to produce children. All but
the most corrupted souls can see the divine
purpose in male and female physiology."

GILDER-ING THE LILY

In his new book The Enemy at Home, social
conservative pundit Dinesh D'Souza argues
that the United States, or rather its decadent
elements, are to blame for 9/11. No one has
captured this argument in quite so pithy a way
as George Gilder, author of several liberal-bashing books of his own.

"D'Souza raises the alarm that the antireligious, sexual liberationist, anti-natalist and
feminist thrust of American foreign, cultural,
and free-speech global Internet policies
threaten and estrange all the traditional
cultures of the third world." Hyperbole at its
grandest.
